Visio timeline from data in MS Access

[jdapd]

I would like to generate a 1-d timeline with data which exists in a MS access
database. I have tables which define the event and the time at which they
occurred. I would like the chart to update automatically when the data in the
tables are manipulated. Is it possible?

in v2003 pro there is a timeline import wizard that can either run from a
command line or be called via code.
Search help for "timeline command line import". Or you can write your own.

Thank you very much. The only problem I am having now is setting the
properties to reflect minutes as the unit of scale.

Your help is much appreciated!
